More quotes by John Wooden
Mistakes come from doing, but so does success.
John Wooden
The true leader isn't really looking for leadership. He's trying to set an example and be in the proper way to get the most productive results and don't realize it. When the followers get something done, if the leader has been what he should, they'll feel like they did it, not him. That's the way it should be.
John Wooden
We don’t have to be superstars or win championships…. All we have to do is learn to rise to every occasion, give our best effort, and make those around us better as we do it.
John Wooden
Adversity often produces an unexpected opportunity. Look for it ! Appreciate and utilize it! This is difficult to do if you're feeling sorry for yourself because you're faced with adversity.
John Wooden

When I was coaching I always considered myself a teacher. Teachers tend to follow the laws of learning better than coaches who do not have any teaching background. A coach is nothing more than a teacher. I used to encourage anyone who wanted to coach to get a degree in teaching so they could apply those principles to athletics.
John Wooden
Respect a man, and he will do all the more.
John Wooden
Do not get so concerned with making a living that you forget to make a life.
John Wooden
The best competition I have is against myself to become better
John Wooden
Big things are accomplished only through the perfection of minor details.
John Wooden
Dwelling in the past prevents doing something in the present.
John Wooden
If you stay intent and your ability warrants it, you will eventually reach the top of the mountain.
John Wooden
Acquire peace of mind by making the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
John Wooden
Be prepared and be honest.
John Wooden
